Study: Moms with husbands, live-in male partners sleep less, do more housework than single moms
MILWAUKEE -- Ahead of Mother’s Day Sunday, May 12, research funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development suggests that mothers with a husband or live-in male partner sleep less and do more housework than single mothers, despite having someone to share the load.Even when a mom is the sole breadwinner, she doesn’t get a break from housework on her days off, doing three times as much cooking, cleaning and laundry compared to what sole-breadwinner fathers do on their days off, according to a related study, co-authored by Noelle Chesley, associate professor of sociology University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.A news release from UWM said according to the first study, "Marital Status and Mothers' Time Use," authored by professors at the University of Maryland and University of Southern California, both single mothers and partnered mothers spend roughly the same amount of time looking after their children, but married mothers are more likely to sacrifice their own leisure time and sleep to do housework as compared with single and divorced mothers.“The idea that a mother does more housework when she has a partner or spouse may sound counterintuitive, but it’s the reality in most American households,” said demographer Linda Jacobsen, vice president of U.S. Programs at Population Reference Bureau in the release. “What we don’t know is why mothers feel compelled to do more housework when there’s a man in the house.”One hypothesis, according to the release, is that married women are more sensitive to social expectations.“Married women may feel that to be a good wife, they must prioritize housework and child care ahead of their own leisure and sleep,” said co-author Joanna Pepin of the University of Texas at Austin in the release. “These expectations likely stem from society’s collective assumptions of what it means to be a wife and mother.”The other study, “Signs of Change?
